Kód odemčení CPU H5000 Hercule na verzi Performance

This is a software upgrade in the form of an activation code. It is not a physical product. This code unlocks advanced features on a B&G H5000 Hercules-level navigation processor to upgrade it to Performance level.

Upgrading to the Performance level unlocks several advanced features for complex systems:

Support for two wind transducers / vane anemometers: Ensures reliable wind data readings, even if one is shadowed by sails. Support for dual rudders: Allows monitoring of each rudder angle and calculation of toe-in angle. Tracking of multiple keels: Manages data from multiple appendages (port, starboard, central) and calculates active draft. Rate of Turn data: Provides information on the boat’s rotation speed. Ground wind calculation: Computes wind speed and direction relative to the seabed.

No, this code is exclusively designed to upgrade a B&G H5000 Hercules-level CPU. It is not compatible with H5000 Hydra-level CPUs or other navigation systems.

The installation is purely software-based. Once the code is purchased, you must enter it directly in the configuration interface of your H5000 system. No hardware intervention or physical modification of your equipment is required.

This upgrade is specifically intended for large offshore cruising sailboats, racing multihulls, and superyachts. It is particularly useful for boats equipped with complex and redundant instrumentation systems, such as multiple wind sensors, rudders, or keels.

Yes, you can apply the upgrade. However, to fully benefit from new features such as dual rudder support or dual wind transducer support, the corresponding hardware must be installed and connected to your H5000 system.

The Hercules level is the foundation for regatta use, with features such as 3D motion correction. The Performance level, enabled by this code, adds superior computing capabilities to manage redundant and complex hardware configurations (dual sensors, multiple appendages), which is crucial for very large sailboats and racing multihulls.

Code activation is a process that can generally be completed by the user via the H5000 system interface. However, if you are not familiar with configuring your system, assistance from a qualified B&G technician is recommended to ensure correct installation.

The upgrade does not change the intrinsic accuracy of your sensors. However, by enabling redundant sensor management (e.g., two wind transducers), it ensures greater reliability and data continuity, which can indirectly lead to better performance based on more comprehensive information.

No, this specific code (000-11759-001) is only for upgrading from Hercules to Performance. B&G offers other codes to upgrade from Hydra to Hercules. You must purchase the code corresponding to your current processor and the feature level you wish to achieve.

The toe-in angle is the difference in angle between the two rudders. On multihulls and some modern monohulls, adjusting this angle is crucial for optimizing hydrodynamic lift and reducing drag. The Performance upgrade allows the H5000 CPU to calculate and display this critical data for performance optimization.

No, activation by code is a permanent upgrade. Once the H5000 processor has been upgraded to the Performance level, it is not possible to revert to the previous feature level.

Yes, the new data calculated by the H5000 CPU (such as true wind, close-hauled angle, etc.) will be available on your boat’s NMEA 2000 network. You can display them on H5000-series compatible displays and B&G Zeus multifunction displays.

The H5000 processor uses algorithms to automatically select the most reliable wind transducer data, typically the one not affected by the mainsail. This ensures more accurate and stable wind readings, especially when sailing downwind on large sailboats.

The serial number of your H5000 processor is usually accessible via the diagnostic or system information menus on your B&G display. It may also be printed on a physical label directly on the processor housing.

Calculating true wind does not require an additional wind sensor. The H5000 processor uses data from your wind transducer/vane anemometer (apparent wind) along with speed and course over ground (SOG and COG) from your GPS to compute the true wind speed and direction relative to a fixed point.

It is strongly recommended to ensure that your H5000 processor and the entire B&G system have the latest available software (firmware) version. This ensures optimal compatibility and stability when activating new features.

No, the activation license is tied to the serial number of a specific H5000 processor. It is not transferable to another device. If you replace your CPU, a new license will need to be purchased for the new hardware.

On racing sailboats or large multihulls, the precise position of the daggerboards or foils has a major impact on performance and stability. The Performance level allows the system to track the position of multiple appendages, calculate active draft, and provide this essential data to the crew for real-time optimal adjustment.
